He had a dream to one day own a restaurant and when Shosh Café, which was in Katamon, came up for sale in 2010, he bought it and decided to stay with that name. On the Keren Kayemet side, the awning covers a patio, which seats 12, with a table at one end selling the restaurant's breads from Teller Bread Company on Agrippas, by Machaneh Yehudah. Windows look into the restaurant. The wrap-around patio, covered overhead, seats 26. Inside at dark wood tables and chairs is a very simple décor with wall lights and two mirrors on a wall at one end. There is seating for 25 and a bar at the back, of white wood trimmed in dark brown wood; a glass display case has desserts in front of the bar, and a wall of dark wood glass cabinets are high on the wall behind. The extensive menu is very impressive.
